Best NOW for a while
11 of 20 people found this review helpful.
If you've felt as I have that the NOW collections had lost the plot and catered only to teenage girls, read the track list very hard. True, there's some mindless pop on there (hence no 5 star rating) but there are also some very strong tracks on there. Nearly every music taste is catered for and the selections from each area are superb.
The first track is the stunning debut single from Corrine Bailey Rae. This song is going to be remembered throughout the year with its upbeat summery feel. The Pussycat Dolls while not my personal favourite are a strong representation of current urban music. The awesome Orson feature as do the extraordinary Ordinary Boys. The stonking return of disco in the form of Meck and Leo Sayer is welcome as is the retro-ness of Dead or Alive.
I could go on but it would take a long time to pick out the highlights of this double album as there are so many. Established greats like Texas, U2 and The Black Eyed Peas are shoulder to shoulder with great new talent like Kubb, Nizlopi and Fall Out Boy.
This is a fine album and a return to excellence for the Now series.
